How big is his room? 

Loud isn't going to be the problem, thats the easy part...

But, if the room is too small, and you start going over 100db, something changes...

I have a pair or Cornwalls - heavily modded - which I am super happy with.

My room is approx 11X17??? And if I go over 95db, something changes. Granted, the room is not treated, but, its a forgiving room and I've managed to position the chair/speakers so they work quite well. What I've noticed, is the musicality goes away, and the sound gets muddled and noisy.

Been meaning to look into big speakers/small room/high db's and how the room getting pressurized can be effecting this distortion/noise.


My buddy upgraded from his lascala’s to the Khorns and he nearly returned them, he was so used to the huge mid bass boost of the lascala’s that the k horns took some getting used to. They don’t sound like they’re putting out any bass but they do pressurize a room and if you play lp’s and like tubes...
It is a very good choice if you buy a klipschhorn made prior to 1965 he will pay more for it but the money spent is well worth the extra time and cost to find one good luck searching but when he does he will be so much more happy.
Nice company, LOUD speakers (very efficient), but not very accurate.

Sorry, horns belong on the top of poles at high school football stadiums, not in boxes in your house.

Not sure if they are still around, but Cerwin-Vega made some wildly loud speakers for many years.  Not very accurate, but certainly better than any horn.

If they are not around any more, ask for some super-efficient speakers at your dealer and I am sure they will have some.

Cheers!
